yep, see what i mean? haha.
Thats why i always end up back to the F14s man.. simple. Strong light, and utilitarian.
Thing you gotta realize about having an "aggressive" car is that sometimes its a pain, or sometimes its a bit much, or it gets old.
Its like a loud shirt.. its cool when you first get it, but sometimes it aint the right fit for the occasion... same w this car.. its my DD and only car, so for being as aggressive as it is, i actually want to tone it DOWN a bit.
The big lip would be cool as heck.. the 360 forged on this Porsche are major. BUT again, they arent realy light.
Not looking for ultra light, just not looking for heavy either.

The wheels on the Vette are made by 360Forged. The wheel is called concave mesh. The barrell and the centers are matte black and if I remember correctly they are 20x11 and 20x13. It is one gorgeous 3 piece wheel that I would love to see you put on your car.

Here is another set with a closer look, but they are not as aggressive as the first pics. Just go on 360's website and take a look at the gallery. They have some great wheels imo.

They are too heavy gentleman .. a 30 plus lb wheel makes a phenomenal impact on an NA v6. Try it sometime. Its terrible. V8? No problem .. ls has no issue spinning extra weight. But our cars react to sprung and unsprung weight reduction in leaps and bounds.
Ordered f14s in the same size as the Ferrari pic I posted. Bronze.

Wide body adds maybe ten lbs tops.
Subs are for sale.
Eighty lb sub box removal makes nowhere near the impact as 5 -7 lbs extra per wheel made..
Sure There's normal internet theorizing... but having experimented w it firsthand..I must say reducing unsprung weight makes a giant impact on the fun of the car overall..far more than static weight reduction .
Not buying the f14s just for weight tho.. strong as hell and major wide...and I've always liked em. Anti bling.

maybe when youre doing 120. wheel weight makes a difference at every stop light you will be at, day to day.
JUST saying man, give it a try.
Theres a reason almost everyone and thier brother runs 18 inch Enkei RPF01s.. insanely light and makes a giant difference in driving the car.
I happen to be stuck w 20s. the F14 combo in 20 will still be lighter or just as light as my factory 17s.
Thats perfect for me, dont need anything more than that.
ANyways, im keeping my damn hands off the car for a while.. got a month and several trips planned, Ill get back to the thread when i actually have wheels on the car.
